Garware Hyosung 250cc to debut in India by first half 2012

Garware-Hyosung will launch its 250cc motorcycle in India, probably the Hyosung GT250R in, by 2012. Garware motors in collaboration with JV Partners SV Motors will bring in the the Hyosung GT250R to India along with the Garware-Hyosung GT650R. Hyosung GT250R will be assembled in the company's Wai assembling plant located near Pune

The super-bike has been modified for the Indian roads in order to get the ARAI certification. Noise reduction, saree guard inclusion and other changes have been made to get the certification done.

At a launch event Garware motors said “This is the first step to get the full line of Hyosung bikes in India. We believe that today’s young and mobile Indian has a strong appetite for stylish bikes, and so, we see significant potential for the GT 650N in India. Our aim is to create a strong network that will provide our customers with a world-class experience and encourage the affordable super biking segment for Indian bikers”

Customer satisfaction has always been the top priority for Garware Motors, hence we have a unique offerings of 24*7 emergency service. Customers would be offered 24*7 on call breakdown service, onsite emergency repairs, battery jumpstart, Fuel delivery, lost key support, transfer/towing of vehicle and taxi drop facility.

So the official word from the MD was out Hyosung GT250R due for launch in April 2012 and the bike will be built in India. We can assume there is healthy competition in way for the Honda CBR250.

The bike looks very much similar to the GT650R just that the specifications change, so the exteriors remain the same but its totally a different body inside

Hyosung GT250R engine:

The Hyosung GT250R is powered by 249 cc V-twin, DOHC fuel injected engine which is capable of producing 28bhp of power at 10,000Rpm and 22.68Nm of torque at 8000Rpm. With an overall weight of 171kgs, Hyosung GT250R can reach a top speed of s175 kmph.


Hyosung GT250R price in India :

The price of Hyosung GT250R seems to get higher and higher day by day. The company claimed that the Hyosung GT250R, which is a direct competitor to the recently launched Honda CBR250R, will be priced aggressively. As said, the initial price proposed by the Garware-Hyosung officials was Rs 1.75 lakhs, which looked really aggressive. 


The second increase added 25,000 more to the initial figure, changing the price tag around 2 lakhs. The latest reports from indiancarsbike.in portal claims that Hyosung GT250R's price in India will be around 2.25 lakhs during its launch in India. However, the increase in price is still not too much as the 300cc Kawasaki Ninja is sold at Rs 3 lakhs in major cities in India.


Garware-Hyosung will launch the GT650R and GT250R in India by April 2012 .GT250R is expected to be sold in more units than its 650 cc sibling due to the pricing factor. Depending upon the response to its 250cc and 650cc bikes in India, Garware will decide on launching its electric bikes
